In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Rockey Knox, a professor at the University of Hawaii’s College of Education, a published researcher, and a passionate advocate for ADHD and neurodiversity. Diagnosed with depression as a preteen and later with ADHD as an adult, she shares her journey of navigating mental health challenges, executive function struggles, and self-discovery. We discuss the impact of her diagnoses on her education, career, and personal growth, as well as the importance of rewriting your self-narrative. Her story is one of resilience, advocacy, and empowerment.
